Naturopathy
involves the treatment of an individual in a way that takes into
account the whole person. The individual is treated, not the disease!

Naturopathy
is a broad umbrella term whereby the practitioner can use one or more
natural modalities or treatments to encourage the recuperative and
self-healing capabilities of the body. It is more about creating an
environment for healing to occur rather than pushing or forcing the
body.

Naturopathy
recognises that we are unique individuals and as such require
personally tailored treatments that take account of our whole being. A
naturopathic treatment program can involve treatments with natural
remedies and lifestyle or dietary changes.The
process of healing, from the naturopathic perspective, can involve a
clearing of energy or toxins from the system.

Over time with either poor
diet, lifestyle imbalances or prolonged stress there can be a build up
tension or stagnation in the system. Energy doesn't flow and becomes
stagnant. Wastes are either not removed or inefficiently removed from
the body. This is where appropriate, gentle and effective action can
gradually clear or detox the system.

As a naturopath with
over 25 years experience, Scott Brisbane follows the 'less is best'
principle. The focus of his naturopathic practice is to encourage
changes in the client towards health and balance. Scott prefers client
initiated change with minimal take away remedies. In keeping with this
philosophy, he uses acupuncture and craniosacral treatments to help
stimulate the self healing abilities of the body. He also occasionally
prescribes homeopathic and flower essence remedies to help the healing
process.

Scott prefers client initiated diet and lifestyle changes
and only rarely prescribes vitamins and minerals preferring instead to
encourage intuitive eating along with elimination diets. Often, it is
not what we take that helps us but what we leave out. The body has a
remarkable ability to heal itself given the right conditions and
creating those conditions can sometimes be as simple as eliminating or
decreasing one food or food group from your diet.
